The lights
inside the cabin don’t light up, the dashboard, the center console, the window
switches, the courtesy lights and I think that’s it.
Well after
making sure the fuses were ok, I had a look at some of the light bulbs on the
dashboard and they were ok.
Anyway I found
the problem was the dimmer switch on the left of the steering wheel below the
lights switch.
I bought a used
dimmer from eBay for 14 bucks I think it included the shipping I can’t
remember.
To replace
it you need to pull the plastic panel that’s below the steering wheel and the
one that is covering the instrument cluster, start by the one on the bottom
there are a couple screws on the latch to open bonnet there’s another single
screw close to that one you’ll find it and I think that’s it pull on the
plastic towards the seat slowly but firmly it will pop out be careful because
the clips that hold it break easily. Now move on to the top remove 3 screws on
the cluster cover and I think 2 on the bottom of the panel you can only see
these two when you remove the bottom panel remove them all if I miss one it’s
my memory just unscrew them all( you might need to remove the center console I can’t
remember, but that one is easy just 2 screws above the AC controls and pull, don’t
unplug anything you just want access to any hidden screws and to make space to
pull out the plastic) and keep them safe! Again pull on the plastic it will
come out now there’s 2 screws on the dimmer just unplug the old dimmer pull him
out and screw in the new one plug it in and before putting everything back together
switch the lights on and try it out make sure the dashboard lights up after checking
it works it’s now time to put her back together.
